Well you must be wondering why did I dig up this old song. Recently, a new anime song cover album contributed by various visual-kei bands titled Counteraction was released. In it, there was a cover of this song, the WORLD, by GUILD. Listening to this song again reminded me of how awesome it was and how apt the lyrics were for the anime Death Note but this time with a new flavor as it was played by a different band.
This song was originally written and performed by the visual-kei band Nightmare and was used as the opening song to the anime Death Note a couple of years back. Death Note being a highly-acclaimed manga was also a very popular anime and using this as a platform, Nightmare's music was exposed to a great deal of people. As such, they became more known and gained tons of fans.
For those who do not know Death Note (the minority I suspect), it is about a notebook capable of killing people by just having the target's real name written in it. A genius teenager got his hands onto this notebook and with this gained the power to change the world by being able to kill off the "right" people. With so many mysterious and coincidental deaths, an internationally-acclaimed detective was hired to find out what is really happening. The series focuses on the clashes between these two great minds and explores what is right and what is wrong.
広がる闇の中 交し合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかないから
果実が告げた未来
理性を忘れた街
黒く歪んだ現在を
夢、理想に変える
どうして？僕は壊れた救世主？
誰もが望んだ「終幕」を・・・
広がる闇の中 交し合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない
いつか僕が見せてあげる
光輝く空を
どうして？僕は壊れた救世主？
誰もが夢みた「楽園」を・・・
広がる闇の中 交し合った 革命の契り
愛した故に芽生えた悪の花
これから先訪れるであろう全てを
誰にも邪魔させるワケにはいかない
いつか僕が見せてあげる
光輝く世界を

In the expanding darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower sprouted from our love
Whatever may come
I cannot afford to let anyone get in my way
The future foretold by the forbidden fruit
A city that has forgotten all reason
In the present distorted by darkness
I change dreams into ideals
Why am I the broken Messiah?
The [end] that everyone wished for
In the expanding darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower sprouted from our love
Whatever may come
I cannot afford to let anyone get in my way
Someday, I will show it to you
A radiant sky
Why am I the broken Messiah?
The [paradise] that everyone dreamt of
In the expanding darkness, we exchanged vows of revolution
An evil flower sprouted from our love
Whatever may come
I cannot afford to let anyone get in my way
Someday, I will show it to you
A radiant world
